Enhancements are ways you can take the requirement to a higher level. Enhancements are not required, but are recommended to improve your student’s online learning experience. Possible enhancements for Requirement 1 are listed below:
1. | Coffeehouse Forum: Have each student ask questions of their classmates and provide extra credit points to any student who correctly answers. |
2. | Announcement Forum: Post an announcement at the beginning of each week summarizing the previous week’s module and providing a preview of what to expect for the current week. |
3. | Turn your syllabus into a graphic syllabus. |
4. | Use forums to answer student questions so you don’t have to answer each student individually (refer following students to the answer in the forum). |
5. | Make the Schedule of Assignments printable for students. |
6. | Make sure that you also change the date in the actual assignment. |
7. | If you use the calendar feature of Open LMS, be aware that not all activities appear on it automatically (e.g. discussion forums). |
